Our Story
At COLDBOWL, we bring the vibrant and bold flavors of West African cuisine to Columbus, Ohio, blending time-honored traditions with a modern touch. Our dishes are crafted with authentic spices, fresh ingredients, and rich cultural influences that make every bite an experience..
West African cooking is known for its complex flavors, slow-cooked stews, bold spices, and nutrient-rich ingredients. The cuisine often features a balance of smoky, spicy, and earthy flavors—a result of the diverse range of ingredients used, including ginger, garlic, onions, tomatoes, and an array of indigenous peppers.
Signature West African-Inspired Dishes at COLDBOWL
We infuse these traditional elements into our menu, offering dishes that reflect the heart of West African culinary heritage while appealing to modern palates:

Jollof Rice
A rich, tomato-based rice dish infused with West African spices, slow-cooked to perfection. A staple across the region, our version stays true to its roots while offering a unique COLDBOWL twist

Jerk Chicken
While a Caribbean classic, our take on jerk seasoning incorporates influences from Ghanaian and Nigerian pepper blends, giving it a deeper, spicier, and smokier edge

Suya-Spiced Meats
Inspired by the famous Nigerian and Ghanaian street food, our suya is marinated in a blend of peanuts, cayenne, and traditional African spices, grilled to perfection

Fried Plantains
A must-have side dish, our sweet and savory plantains offer a delightful contrast to the heat of our main entrees

Spiced Greens & Hearty Soups
Influenced by the comforting stews of West Africa, we serve rich, slow-simmered greens with smoked meats and seasonings that evoke the warmth of a traditional home-cooked meal
